Excerpt from The Soul of the East
Hou Soul of the becowled and mystic East Which thought in symbols, and SO prayed! Fair saint within a cloister's close! Eternity's pale bride! At your wan nuptials Love was priest And wed a beauty ne'er can fade; Fair Faith and Priestcraft honor-maid And brought the glamour of the rose, Aye, Art and Nature to your Side. You are the Koh-i-noor ofafanes, All loveliness beside yours wanes, N O fairer lily blows.
